During our final escape, we rushed to the roof of the police station and then jumped from the rooftop to another building next to it... Hansen, carrying the sniper with the cobra, jumped over in one go, but I, without any burden, almost fell... simply because when I jumped, the pain in my back was unbearable, and I almost fell in mid-air.
If Hansen hadn't grabbed me, I would have been dead if I hadn't fallen straight down from the sixth floor.
“I do have a way to make this cobra talk,” Hansen said slowly from the corner.
Part Two: The Road to Success, Chapter Fifty-Four: I'd Rather Die Than Tell
Hansen was shirtless, revealing a rock-like physique and shiny black skin! But he also had injuries on his body, some minor wounds he sustained that night at the police station.
His face was cold and stern. He was carefully wiping a dagger in his hand, his movements meticulous. He kept his head down and didn't even lift his eyelids. He said slowly, "I have a way to make him talk."
My eyes lit up: "What method?"
Hansen then looked up at me and said, "This is my plan, I can't tell you. Give me a day, and I'll tell you the result."
It has to be said that Hansen is a typical stubborn and short-tempered guy, like a rock in a latrine. But strangely enough, he's not disliked. On the contrary, I find him quite unique.
"Alright!" I waved my hand. "From now on, this place is yours. I'll have people guarding the outside; no one will come in."
Having eliminated the sniper's threat, I feel much more relaxed.
Now that the Vietnamese have been unfairly blamed twice, if they can turn the tables, then it can only be said that even God is on their side! However, even if a miracle occurs, it is impossible.
Although the situation has not yet fully stabilized, the outlook is quite promising, at least for now.
Furthermore, I am delighted that today, the twenty million US dollars that Da Ruan promised to give me were successfully transferred to our overseas account…
Da Ruan's actions surprised me... Logically speaking, I had just used Xiao Ruan to frame the Vietnamese again this morning, yet Da Ruan still paid the money according to the terms and didn't turn against me... It seems he is genuinely worried about his brother's safety.
I left Hansen in the secret room; I didn't care how he dealt with the cobra. I had Ciro push me outside…
Yes, that's right, it was Ciro who "pushed" me.
I'm in a wheelchair now. I was shot in the back before, and I have several other wounds on my body. Under these circumstances, I'd better not do any strenuous exercise, and I shouldn't even walk too much. So, to avoid aggravating my injuries, Ciro simply found me a wheelchair, and he pushes me around all day.
Just as I stepped out of the room, I was having Xiluo push me to check the outer hall when I saw Hammer running towards me, drenched in sweat. He rushed up to me, panting, with a strange expression on his face: "Fifth Brother... Fifth Brother... outside, there's someone banging on the door."
Oh, I forgot to mention. Hammer is a very honest person, but besides not being able to drive, he has another problem: he stutters when he gets nervous or excited.
"Break down the door?" I raised an eyebrow. "Damn, in all of Vancouver, who's so bold as to break down our door in broad daylight?!"
Hammer was sweating profusely, stammering. He gestured with his hands, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, that... cut cut cut cut cut the chicken is here..."
I had the gate to the repair shop locked. The guys are all really agitated right now, and with Eighth Master just gone, a burning desire for revenge is simmering in their hearts… Even though I sent Hammer and his men out to cause some trouble that day, just to let everyone vent, we didn't catch any Vietnamese. Everyone's still seething with anger.
This all began after I orchestrated the second "terrorist attack." While others were unaware, Doug knew. He knew Xiao Ruan was in my hands, and since I used Xiao Ruan to issue that statement, it was clear that I was the one who did it.
I knew the police would definitely launch another large-scale counterattack, so to prevent any of my men from escaping, I simply stopped trying to cover my tracks and ordered the repair shop gate to be closed and locked! Only Xiluo and I had the key to open the gate.
Of course, this is just a gesture. A simple lock can't hold so many men; it's just that I'm using this action to show my attitude. I've established the rules, and made them public! If anyone knowingly violates them again, don't blame me for being ruthless.
The saying "A kind heart cannot command an army" illustrates this principle.
When I heard Hammer say, "That chicken butcher is here..." I almost fell off my wheelchair. My expression at that moment was truly priceless.
I quickly had Xiluo push me all the way to the door, and I heard the metal roller door outside the repair shop being smashed loudly. At the same time, I heard Qiaoqiao's imposing voice: "Xiao Wu, you little bastard, if you don't open the door, I'll tear this door down for you, you believe me!"
Xiluo quickly went up and unlocked the roller door. He pressed the button, and the roller door slowly rolled up. I saw outside the door, with Miss Qiao standing with her legs apart, a suitcase at her feet, one hand clenched into a fist, and the other hand on her hip, looking like a savage girlfriend.
Behind her was a taxi, and a Black driver was helping her carry her suitcase. But looking at the Black man, her face turned pale...
The Black driver was probably trembling with fear. As someone who frequents the streets and alleys, he certainly knew what kind of place this repair shop was! Seeing his beautiful customer daring to bang on the door in such a place…
Cold sweat! Cold sweat!!
The roller shutter opened, and Qiaoqiao finally saw me. She immediately called out, then shouted, "Xiao Wu! Are you deaf?! And why did you close the door in broad daylight... Huh? You..."
As they were talking, Qiaoqiao finally saw what I looked like. She saw me sitting in a wheelchair, leaning weakly against the wall...
Qiaoqiao's expression changed instantly! Her previously amused expression completely transformed! Her face instantly filled with rage, and she lunged at me, baring her teeth and claws. Before I could speak, she grabbed my arm and began yelling, "Chen Yang! What happened to you? What happened to you? You…you're not crippled, are you? Is your leg okay? Where are you injured? Your back? Your spine?? Oh my god, you're not paralyzed…you…"
As she spoke, her eyes reddened, and large tears fell from her eyes.
I was nearly driven mad by this forceful woman. In her agitation, she grabbed my arm and shook it violently, making all my wounds ache. I finally caught my breath and snapped, "I...which eye of yours saw me paralyzed! My legs are perfectly fine! I just suffered some minor injuries, and I'm in a wheelchair to recuperate..." I hurriedly replied, about to question her about why she had disobeyed me and come to Canada again...
"Damn it! You're not paralyzed... If you're not paralyzed, why are you in a wheelchair!" Qiao Qiao gave me the middle finger with a smug look.
I was furious and yelled – I wouldn't hold back with her! "Qiaoqiao! You shrew! So what if I'm in a wheelchair? I'd rather be on a stretcher!" I glared at her: "And you! Why are you here again! Didn't I tell you to go back to China...? Why are you here again! You..."
"Tch. I'm the one who has the reins to decide where I go." Qiao Qiao completely ignored me. She pointed directly at the taxi in the distance: "Kid! Open your eyes and see who I brought!"
"I don't care who you bring..." Before I could finish my sentence, I choked back the rest of it, swallowing my saliva.
The taxi's back door slowly opened, and first a slender, straight leg emerged, followed by a beautiful body. A hand, as white as jade, gently shielded her forehead from the sunlight, and then the girl stepped out of the car. She stood not far in front of me…
Her features were exquisite, her charm undiminished, and most striking was the gentleness in her lowered head… I don’t know how many times this figure has appeared before me in my dreams, or how many times it has made my heart tremble…
My voice went hoarse instantly. I stared blankly at the person in front of me. No matter how hard I tried to control myself, my heart was already racing like a drum!
She was so close, yet so far away. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and it seemed to have already brushed against my cheek…
Yan Di quietly walked up to me, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, darting across my face several times before she bent down, gently squatting in front of me, her hands slowly stroking my legs...
She cried, cried so hard, her voice choked with sobs: "Xiao Wu... why are you... why are you in a wheelchair... you..."
When Yan Di's voice reached my ears, my soul suddenly returned! I took a deep breath and cupped her face in my hands... My fingertips felt the delicate skin on Yan Di's face, and I even stared at her with an almost greedy gaze, as if afraid of missing a single glance.
"Yan Di... I'm fine." I smiled. "I'll be able to stand up again in a few days once I'm better." I paused, looked into her eyes, and said softly, "Don't worry... When have I ever lied to you?"
Yan Di looked at me carefully for a moment, and our eyes met, instantly understanding each other. No extra words were needed! She naturally believed me. Yan Di smiled through her tears, but seeing my injured appearance, her face remained clouded with worry.
I gently stroked her face, tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, and whispered, "Why didn't you just come out? What were you doing hiding in the car?"
Yan Di forced a smile, slightly apologetic: "Um...it's my fault. I wanted to give you a surprise."
Sigh... This girl is still the same as before, kind to the point of being naive.
What's wrong with her...? Yan Di would never do such a thing! Hiding in the car to surprise me? That idea is almost certainly Miss Qiao's!
I glanced at Qiaoqiao and waved my hand dismissively: "Go inside first!"
My gaze towards Qiaoqiao held a hint of reproach... Indeed, I was somewhat annoyed. In such turbulent times, Qiaoqiao had actually come again... and even brought Yan Di along... This girl is too audacious and reckless!
Without a word, Yan Di took the armrests from Xi Luo almost effortlessly. She took Xi Luo's place and pushed me inside. Her movements were so natural, as if she were born to do these things.
Xiluo closed the door and sent the terrified driver away. Then she took on the role of baggage handler, carrying the luggage and walking behind me with Miss Qiao.
Along the way, Xiluo couldn't help but look at Yan Di with surprise, and he lowered his voice to speak to Qiaoqiao.
"Uh... Sister Qiaoqiao... I originally thought you were Xiao Wu's... How come you brought another girl today? She and Xiao Wu..."
"Hmph." Qiao Qiao's voice: "Kid, what do you know... This girl is your Fifth Brother's woman, they're deeply in love! You should flatter her more in the future, she'll be your boss's wife!"
“But… I originally thought you were the boss’s wife…” Xiluo’s helpless voice.
Hearing this, I felt I couldn't listen anymore, and just as I was about to interrupt their nonsense, Qiaoqiao said something that almost made me fall out of my wheelchair.
Qiaoqiao said, "Damn it! I'm not! This is the real legal wife! As for me... I'm at most a concubine."
I... I'm so damn angry!
In less than half an hour, everyone at the auto repair shop knew that Brother Wu had a legal wife who, accompanied by his second wife, Miss Qiao, had traveled all the way to Canada to find him.
This first wife is beautiful, gentle, refined, and kind, a hundred times better than that fierce Miss Qiao from the second wife, and so on...
In my office, within twenty minutes, several groups of young men had come to me under various pretexts to ask me questions. Actually, they wanted to take the opportunity to see my "official wife."
I can't do anything with these people. Although I'm the eldest, I'm younger than many of them! Normally, I'm more friendly than authoritative. For serious matters, I can still put on a stern face and reprimand them. But when it comes to personal matters, they all act like older brothers visiting their "siblings," and I'm powerless to stop them.
After finally getting rid of the swarm of flies, I simply took them back to my room to talk.
After closing the door, I sighed, looked at Qiaoqiao intently, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Qiaoqiao, didn't I tell you not to come to Canada to look for me? My situation here is still unstable..."
Qiaoqiao had already leaned against my bed, first stretching languidly with a seductive air, then saying in a lazy tone, "I knew you'd tell me this... Let me tell you, it wasn't my choice. My husband got angry, I couldn't stay in China anymore, so I had to run away. Do you think I wanted to come here? Let me tell you, my husband got angry because of my elopement. Li Wenjing is in Canada, so even if my husband is shrewd, he wouldn't have guessed I'd run off to Canada!"
I suppressed my anger: "Damn it, then why did you bring Yan Di here?" I took a breath and slowly said, "The situation has become increasingly complicated lately. I feel like I'm walking a tightrope; one wrong step and it's all over! It's not safe for me here... You..."
"Don't you want to see Yan Di? Don't you know that girl is depressed at home all day, thinking about you day and night! She's lost so much weight! If you contact her any later, she might become depressed!" Qiao Qiao came over and pinched and hit me: "You heartless little bastard! If it weren't for our friendship, I would have already taken advantage of you! Such a beautiful young woman, and now you've made her thinner than a withered flower... Humph, do you want me to take your place and give her a little 'nourishment'?"
Qiao Qiao is Qiao Qiao; she speaks without any restraint. Yan Di's face was already flushed red, and she murmured, "Qiao Qiao!" before she could say nothing more.
Qiao Qiao still had a sly smile on her face: "Xiao Wu, you're injured now, and you're surrounded by rough men. With the two of us around, we can take good care of you, right?"
"You?" I rolled my eyes.
I remember it very clearly! The last time Qiaoqiao came to visit, I had just had a big fight with Sha Hu, the Double Flower Red Stick of the Hua Gang! I was covered in injuries! As a result, Qiaoqiao volunteered to "take care" of me... This young lady has never taken care of anyone in her life! Even when she occasionally keeps a pet, everything she raises dies! She even managed to kill a turtle! Let alone take care of a living person?
Every time she changed my dressings and bandages, I almost wanted to find Sha Hu and fight him! This woman has a good sense of aesthetics; in the end, she could even tie the bandages into all sorts of colorful bows!
But there's one thing... whether my wound is wrapped in bandages or not, Miss doesn't care.
Hearing my question, Qiaoqiao wasn't angry. Her face held a half-smile, and she simply said, "Oh, you want to talk about how I took care of you here back then...?"
Looking into Qiaoqiao's eyes, I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine!
I can't tell! I'd rather die than tell!!
How did Qiaoqiao take care of me back then?
Qiaoqiao shared a room with me! She fed me, one bite from her, one bite from me… We slept together… And this woman was clearly playing me, deliberately seducing me. She wore the same lingerie all day long, 24/7, parading around in front of me… What's worse, most of her lingerie was those incredibly sexy styles that made my blood boil! Sometimes she wouldn't even close the shower door! After showering, she'd just wrap herself in a towel and throw herself onto the bed right in front of me…
Moreover, once she arouses my normal male response, this despicable woman will sit in front of me with a smug look on her face, point at me, and laugh maliciously: "Oh yeah! It's perked up, it's perked up!"
This is an absolutely heinous crime!
Holy crap!
How could I say these things in front of Yan Di!
I'd rather die than tell!!
Seeing that I was speechless, Qiaoqiao made a face at Yan Di, gave him a victory sign, and then asked, "By the way, I'm staying here tonight. All the other stinky men have slept in your rooms, I don't want to stay here!"
I hesitated for a moment, then immediately refused: "No, this is my room! You..."
"Then I can live with Yan Di too," Qiao Qiao said innocently.
“You…” I looked at her: “Don’t even think about it.”
Damn, I haven't forgotten Miss Qiao's peculiar tastes when it comes to "sexual orientation." I'm not crazy enough to put such a lecherous woman in the same room as my precious Yan Di.
At this moment, Yan Di, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up bravely.
"Um... Qiao Qiao..." Yan Di's voice was tinged with shyness and timidity. She hesitated for a moment, her face flushed, "I... I want to sleep with Xiao Wu."
